A personal reflection on the emerging paradox in my everyday life |
Paradox Webster defines a paradox as a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth. It is also defined as a person, thing, or situation exhibiting an apparently contradictory nature. I once held paradoxes in a bad context, but paradoxes are all around us. plain, simple, and beautiful. I am a paradox. The Masculine vs. The Feminine Our Power vs. Our Love The Sciences vs. The Arts Being the Student vs. Being the Teacher This is place for me to emerge into my paradox. To explore and observe the world around me. To grow and learn as well as to share and teach. I am a student as well as a teacher. I refuse to ever stop learning. No matter where I am, there is always more to learn from new experiences, new people, and new places. I am a Tomboy (official member of the BSA) but I have girly tendencies like when getting emotional easily and cry at sappy love stories. I am an engineer as well as a writer and painter (although I don’t paint as much as I should) I work to be successful in all I do and discover who I am on the deepest level while nurturing and raising up those around me. Have you embraced your own personal Paradox? “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”-1 Timothy 4:12 (New International Version, ©2011) |
